Also, some girls do go four or five months before they even realize that they're pregnant. It happens. Others may be too frightened to want to admit they are pregnant, or feel incapable of taking any steps to deal with it.

She reached the conclusion that it was more dangerous for her mental health to have the abortion than not to, but it was a very careful and thoughtful process that brought her to this conclusion.
